NEW Webmail System!

[kmaw]

You can import to Hotmail... but not export... go figure

Export is in the premium service... $$$

Previously I had folders setup, but after logging into the the new webmail, they are gone! Even if I log back into the old squilmail, they are still gone. Suggestions on how to get them back?

I don't know if this has been asked before but it seems that my forwarders don't work with this new system.

Could be a stupid question, but does the email address forwarded have to exist for the forwarder to work.

Any help, much appreciated.

Nope, I don't think so.

I don't think it has to exists, I think the e-mail would just bounce if the forwarding account didn't exists.

I am still having intermittent 550 problems. Is there any news on this?

I just wanted to chime in and keep this thread alive since I have been really anxious to see this released for resellers since it was announced. I hope Host Gator considers this a priority.

thanks,

I can tell you pretty easily that they don't consider this a priority.

[jive]

If its even coming for resellers at all. I seriously doubt it. Move on to a new hope. Save yourself the grief.

I've not tried this on my HG account, but on another web server, I was able to pretty easily install RoundCube myself, which allows custom branding.

It may not be as easiy on a HG server, but it may be a solution until (if) us resellers get the option. www.roundcube.org is the site. If anyone sucessfully installs in on a HG server, then post the install directions here,

I though this was based on NutsMail (http://nutsmail.com/) not RoundCube ....

You are correct (from my understanding), I was meaning a custom install of RoundCube might be an easy alternative to not having a "branded" e-mail.

Is there any way we could have https access to the new webmail setup? Trying to hit https://webmail.hostgator.com gets me: Safari can’t open the page “https://webmail.hostgator.com/” because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server “webmail.hostgator.com”. And the login form itself doesn't submit to an https URL.

Thanks,
George

Hi,

I did a custom installation of RoundCube for myself-- installed it, threw in my logo, etc.. It works fine and clients seem to like it, but it's still not a finished product and isn't perfect. The install was easy though.

Nice system. I just would like to see a "firewall safe" version like our domain email, as I can't access the new system at work, the proxy blocks it.

[esl]

Just a friendly reminder to the HG staff that it has been just about 6 months sense this system was announced to be available to dedicated and resellers shortly....

[dema]

Wow you're right. Hah, that's pretty bad (:

[mrsandre]

I have a reseller account. If I purchase this from NutsMail will I be able to install it on my server so that all of my clients can use it.

No, you need a dedicated server for that.

[chickens]

Whoever else is having trouble sending mail from webmail.hostgator.com, apparently we are supposed to use [yourdomain.com]/webmail - then login, then access through Horde or Cube or Squirrelmail, and then you can send.

We had the send mail problem last week, and Hostgator fixed it, but this weekend the problem was back and that was the solution they told us to use...

[Falkor]

Yes, it is possible to install SquirrelMail or NutsMail below your "/public_html", for example:

http://yourdomain/yoursquirrelmail

1.- Just unpack squirelmail, upload to a folder of your choice

2.- Rename: yoursquirrelmail/config/config_default.php

for: yoursquirrelmail/config/config.php

3.- Edit config.php to fit to your server specs, it is required to modify only the following to work with Hostgator servers:

* $org_name = "yourorgname";
* $org_title = "yourorgtitle";
* $signout_page = 'http://yourdomain/yoursquirrelmail';

Leave $provider_name and $provider_uri in blank if you want to get rid of SM attributions...

* $provider_name = ''";
* $provider_uri = '';

* $domain = 'yourdomain.com';
* $smtp_auth_mech = 'login';
* $imap_auth_mech = 'login';

Note1: Squirrelmail works almost out of the box.
Note2: Since Nutsmail is the same Squirrelmail but just with a nice theme, you can do the same steps before described to get Nustmail to work.
Note3: Installing Squirrelmail in that way it does not interfere with your actual webmail or Cpanel.

==Working examples==

In a web site of a friend, i have installed Squirrelmail and Nustmail, both v1.4.6 in a Windows hosting server.

http://www.tweaks2k2.com/email <--- Nustmail
http://www.tweaks2k2.com/email2 <--- Squirrelmail

As you can see, Nutsmail and Squirrelmail, both are installed below the "/public_html" with no need of root access.


Added Aug. 10,

So, if you now have a new Squirrelmail/Nutsmail installed at:

http://yourdomain/yoursquirrelmail

and you are a Hostgator reseller, you and your clients can use the same Squirrelmail/Nutsmail logging form
in order to have access to its respective email accounts.

But if you need to personalize your clients webmail, you can add the following logging form in each domain of your clients like:

http://yourclient/yourclientsquirrelmail

and put in /yourclientsquirrelmail the following form in an index.html file:

<form name="webmail" method="post"
action="http://yourdomain/yoursquirrelmail/src/redirect.php">

<input type="text" name="login_username" size="30">
<br>
<input type="password" name="secretkey" size="30">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
&nbsp;
<input type="reset" value="Reset">

</form>

remember, the ACTION atribute must to point to your Squirrelmail/Nutsmail:

action="http://yourdomain/yoursquirrelmail/src/redirect.php"

doing this you can offer the new Squirrelmail/Nutsmail to each one of your clients
with a single installation script.

This system looks great - but the default text size is tiny.
Is there a way to make the default text size a touch bigger?

Cheers,
Stu

[Freaking Crazy]

Nice. If I could use http://webmail.mydomain.com and have it in my language, I could offer it to my current customers. I suggest you increase font size, it's very very small.

I wish you had an ajax-powered webmail that would be as snappy as Gmail. I see no benefit in using a non-ajax webmail over the notorious Squirrelmail
